Hi Howard, Thanks for providing this suggestion. I recall perhaps a year or so back, another list member speaking of this business. Will certainly check them out, perhaps they also carry accessories like headphone extension cables for audiophiles like me. Thanks again, Karen On Fri, 8 Nov 2024, Howard Gibson via talk wrote:
